switching virtual consoles

still, some key combo would be more kewl. i guess this is related to the ctrl key problem above.

first things first

First i discovered that i have to get rid of the Qtopia default Rom. I decided to go for OpenZaurus with GPE?. then i went back and forth a couple of times and now it seems i m set with OZ 3.5.4-RC using all 64Mb of RAM.

usb

usb networking works fine and out of the box once you figured it. put zaurus in the cradle. with sharp or cacko rom you just need to issue

# ifconfig usb0 192.168.129.200

on your PC / laptop. the zaurus per default uses .201.

with OZ you need to configure device usbd0 first on the zaurus with an address of choice and then do the same as above.

pocketworkstation

i think for any moderately advanced linux user this is the way to go. i just installed it on a 1GB SD-Card, running on OZ. and looks very promising and it works. alternatives would be familiar but i m not sure wether it makes sense on collie, and that QTpocketworkstation thing. find it linked in http://wiki.debian.org/PocketWorkStation.

with PWS you dont need to care much about the Rom System, you just do it all within the chroot.
